Title: Finally someone explaining my love for SDOIT
Post by: Pettor on July 09, 2018, 03:14:33 AM: I think SDOIT is the best album ever created. Period. Even after listening it from start to stop sooooooo many times it's still pure joy. I can't even express how highly I think about it. Or wait I finally kinda can. This guy. He understands. :metal

Thanks for the share, that was fun.

It's difficult to give anything a fair shake compared to SDOIT. It's nearly impossible. :biggrin:

Post by: Pettor on July 10, 2018, 01:22:34 AM: I am actually a bit jealous that he got into SDOIT that easily. Glass Prison was the first song that got me into DT but it took a lot of time to digest SDOIT.

What I find interesting is that SDOIT actually seems to have quite some grooves or even quite a lot of catchy parts? Never thought about this. The last albums aren't very heavy on groove (doesn't need to be a bad thing) which I think could be a problem for the guy. At the same time he didn't like SFAM that much.

Anyway, the way he listens to the album does translate directly to myself. I can't keep myself from smiling, head-banging, getting goosebumps, mesmerizing etc. Such a journey of an album!

Hahaha - you're not wrong, my friend! It's a stellar album.

I like this type of videos just because it reminds me of what it was like to listen to it for the first time. I used to watch Lost in Vegas but I feel like their videos lost quality and feel forced.
